Heading out in 10 days For my 3rd BWCA trip, which of these routes are better? We are two people in our late twenty’s/early thirty’s without a ton of gear- will be able to single portage. Looking for views and solitude. Would ideally like to do a loop, but not sure if it’s possible in six days, hence option two

Option 1 (enter fall, exit Mudro)
Day one: Fall lake to basswood lake (ideally above the motor line)
Day two: head up basswood river to around Wednesday Bay Area
Day three: continue along crooked lake to Friday bay
Day four: papoose creek-> papoose lake->Chippewa lake->nicki lake->wagosh lake ->gun lake (stopping at either nicki or wagosh if campsite available)
Day five: gun lake -> fairy lake -> boot lake ->four town lake
Day six: exit out Mudro

Option 2 (enter and exit fall)
Day one: Fall lake to basswood lake (ideally above the motor line)
Day two: head up basswood river to around Wednesday Bay Area
Day three: continue along crooked lake to Saturday or Sunday bay
Day four: back to Wednesday Bay Area
Day five: back to basswood and down to pipestone
Day six: exit out fall lake

Any advice welcomed!
